The Kano/Jigawa Area Command of the Nigeria Customs seized over 3,000n bags of foreign rice and some contraband all together worth N100 million on Tuesday.
Comptroller Nasir Ahmed speaking to reporters at the Command’s headquarters in Kano said the goods were seized at various border towns within Jigawa axis.
He attributed the success archived to collaboration with the Customs Intelligent Unit (CIU), the headquarters, Information Patrol Team (IPT), strike force, Federal operations and other relevant units of the service, because we are not competing among ourselves, but rather working together to stop smuggling.
Speaking at the press briefing he warned that ” We want to tell the smugglers to have a rethink and look the other way for a new business, as 2019 would be no smuggling year for their nefarious activities.
Ahmed also warned the youths to resist being used as agents to conveying contraband goods into the country.
”We must do everything possible to save our country, as I do not want to run to Niger, neither can Niger contain Nigerians.”
